I've just started using prototype and its been ages since I wrote
javascript, and I am a little confused by the syntax.
>From the online doc I understand that, for example, I can get the
value of the style 'visibility' like this:
<div id="someDiv"></div>
var yy = $('someDiv').getStyle( 'visibility' );
Based on another post I tried:
var yy = $($('someDiv')).getStyle( 'visibility' );
but that didnt work either. (These give me "... is not a function"
errors in Firebug. What does work is:
var yy = Element.getStyle( $('fade'), 'visibility' );
which I got by reading the code. That's fine, but I would sure prefer
the shorthand method especially as what I am beginning will be fairly
complex. I am using both Firefox 2.whateverislatest and IE6, by the
way.
Could someone offer me a quick clue and perhaps point me to some good
reading to get back up to speed?
Thanks in advance,
Mike
